I'm not sure how long each trip lasts. Most of the time it's 1-2 % for Ebay. Do the same thing for the other stores to get whatever % they are giving. Did quite well at Macy's from my wife at Christmas.
Thank you so much for this tip! Once upon a time, the sniping program I used had some kind of backdoor way to accrue cash back through a similar program to ebates, but that went away some time ago, and I figured I could only do it on BIN's or manual bids. I tried your suggestion of the early bid through eBates followed with a last-second snipe though, and it worked! And not just with gavelsnipe, but with my other preferred sniping service as well (tried it with both). It will be nice to get an extra % back on my purchases from here on. Thanks!
